That was a beautiful shower and I agree that cake looks a-mazen! And of course the little guy had to be there. You can’t keep that much cuteness out of the action. 🙂 My older brother is getting married in July and the bridal showers are coming up next month. I’m excited to be going!

your sister looks so much like you in that picture of her holding the linens (I assume?) with the A on them, you can really see the resemblance! And that cake is beautiful! Glad you all had a great time

Love that! Especially this line: “Our sons need to see how young and beautiful and human their mamas were. Our daughters need to see us vulnerable and open and just being ourselves — women, mamas, people living lives.”

I am taking note. I have begun asking to have pictures taken of me with the grandbabies because I don’t have enough of my kids with grandmoms. But I need also to volunteer to get pictures of mom and babies every time.

What a spread! Looks yummy! And that cake!
I love how some nicknames just stick from childhood – we still call my sister “Cheese”, because her name is Bree (spelled different that “Brie” cheese, but pronounced the same) haha!

Your sister is absolutely stunning! You really captured her natural beauty. I am ssssoooooo unphotogenic, although sometimes I want to blame it on the camera angle!!1!! Sometimes distorts things I think. All in all, it looks like a beautiful party and the food looks scrumptious. Those bacon wrapped pears sound divine. Great photo of your mom and Larbs!

I am the only one in my family who likes to take pictures on our trips anymore, so I rarely am in any of the photos either. And when I do get in them, they are either a. blurry, b. my eyes are shut or c. some body part is weirdly cut off by the angle. Haha. 😀

How fun! Man have showers come a long way! I mean the last bridal shower I attended was my own so you can imagine how things have changed in um…a lot of years. 🙂 Hopefully my friend gets married sometime this millennium so I can throw her one!

I loved the post you wrote awhile back about products you had recently purchased. You reviewed them and said whether or not you would buy them again. Do you know what I am referring too? Can you do another post like that sometime? I love hearing about other people’s favorite new product finds (or disappointments) and I trust your reviews and advice very much.

What a beautiful picture of your sister and your Mom. I did spot one pic of you on your sisters blog! Little Mazen is so adorable! I just love watching him grow. What a wonderful and happy weekend for your family.

Kath – Mazen looks like SUCH a love. My daughter was born a few weeks before him, and she’s just about his size (with blue eyes like his also!). After seeing Mazen’s photo I just want to go wake her up and squeeze her chubby little thighs. Although, I think it’s best that I let her sleep…LOL!
